We put the story first when we design, whether it’s a playful experiential space for an event or a soulful commercial studio. Every project starts with figuring out what emotion we want people to actually feel - curiosity, drama, maybe even a bit of quiet. ### Collaboration & Local Touch We team up with brands and Mumbai *karigars* (artisans). There’s something special about working with local hands. Custom furniture, quirky lighting, and those tiny details are all part of the mix. Sometimes we go a little extra, adding dramatic lights or furniture with real personality. If you catch yourself looking twice, that’s by design. ### Not Just Pretty, But Playful We once built our own Mad Hatter’s Tea Party for a show - not loud, but curious. Think woven ceilings, murals, secret corners. It’s about making you want to explore, not just stand and stare. ### Our Studio Vibes Our studio is our creative *ghar* (home) in Mumbai. Big tables, a gallery wall full of inspiration. It’s proof that a workspace can feel warm and human, even in a commercial setting. ### What Stays With You We want you to leave with more than just an impression - maybe a feeling, maybe a story. That’s the real magic of story-driven commercial interiors. ## Highlights Browse through Purple Backyard's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/purplebackyard/experiential-commercial-space-design/featured) - ![This is our take on the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, an experiential installation we created for a design show.

Mumbai kid, no backyard, so I built my own—open, inviting, full of life. My nani (grandmom) and mum made our home feel like a hug, not a showroom. That’s my vibe: homes should be lived in, not perfect. Japan taught me calm, India gave me soul. PB Home is my way to bring local crafts and small joys into everyday living. Stillness, chaos, all of it—design is personal. ### My work - **What We Do**: We design homes—apartments, penthouses—and create custom objects by karigars. We also do experiential installations. - **How We Design**: Transitional, layered, happy homes. We mix Indian craft home decor with your stories, so it feels warm, not stiff. - **How We Work**: It’s a team effort. We work close with you, using local materials and crafts for that raw-refined blend. - **Who We Love Working With**: Folks who see their home as a sanctuary. If you want lively, layered apartment design, and a space that feels truly yours, let’s chat. ## More services from Purple Backyard - [Furniture & Object Design (PB Home)](https://mytribe.in/purplebackyard/furniture-object-design-pb-home) · ₹45K-2.5L per piece (estimate) - [Residential Interior Design](https://mytribe.in/purplebackyard/residential-interior-design) · ₹180-900 per sq. ft.
